of  the  appropriations  necessary  to  be  made  for  the  support  of  the

COMMUNICATION  FROM  SECRETARY  OF  TREASURY, 

SUBMITTING  THE  ESTIMATES  OF  THE  VARIOUS  DEPARTMENTS  FOR  THE 
SUPPORT  OF  THE  GOVERNMENT  FOR  THE  FIRST  HALF  OF  THE  ENSU- 
ING FISCAL  YEAR. 


Treasury  Department,  C.  S.  A.,      ) 
Richmond,  April  7,  1863.  > 
Hon,  Thos,  S.  Bocock, 

Speaker  of  the  House  of  Representatives,  C.  S.  A.: 

Sir :  In  compliance  -vrith  the  requisition  of  Congress,  I  herewith 
submit  in  detail  the  estimates  of  the  various  departments  for  the  sup- 
port of  the  goverement  for  the  first  half  of  the  ensuing  fiscal  year. 

In  presenting  these  estimates  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  is  re- 
quired by  law  to  report  to  Congress^  the  ways  and  means  to  provide 
for  the  same.  The  currency  act  of  the  23d  of  March,  has  limited  at 
a  fixed  *feum  of  fifty  millions  per  month  the  issue  of  treasury  notes, 
and  the  bonds  which  that  acf  authorizes  together  with  any  future 
taxes  which  may  be  raised,  are  by  its  provisions  converted  into  mere 
instruments  to  sustain  the  credit  of  the  treasury  notes.  They  are 
allowed  only  to  act  as  absorbents  until  the  currency  shall  be  reduced 
below  one  hundred  and  seventy-five  millions,  and  no  aid  can  be  had 
in  this  direction  from  the  re-issue  of  the  notes  until  the  whole  cur- 
rency falls  below  this  limit.  The  estimates  now  presented,  it  will  be 
perceived,  call  for  more  money  than  fifty  millions  monthly ;  it  follows, 
therefore,  of  necessity,  under  existing  laws,  either  that  l8ie  estimates 
must  be  reduced,  or  that  some  of  the  expenditures  must  be  made  in  a 
form  which  does  not  require  the  raising  of  money. 

Such  a  state  of  things  naturally  suggests  an  expedient  to  which  gov- 
ernments have  resorted  under  similar  necessity,  namely,  the  levy  of  a 
tax  in  kind.  In  my  last  annual  report,  I  recommended  to  Congress  a 
tax  of  one  per  cent,  on  property,  and  of  ten  per  cent,  on  all  incomes. 
So  much  of  this  income  tax  as  could  be  made  use  of  for  the  army, 
might  be  collected  in  kind.  Food  and  forage  are  required  for  this 
purpose  in  every  section  of  our  country,  and  those  agricultural  pro- 
ducts, such  as  cotton  and  tobacco,  which  cannot  be  used  as  food, 
would  be  of  very  great  value  in  providing  arms,  clothing  and  muni* 
tions  of  v?ar  from  abroad. 

I  would  therefore  suggesfthe  expediency  of  authorizing  the  gov- 
ernment, wherever  it  may  find  the  same  practiable,  to  collect  in  kind 
a  tax  upon  agricultural  income.   Such  a  tax  is  recommended  by  many 


3 

considerations  of  publicly  policy,  some  of  whicli  I  will  ask   leave 
briefly  to  present. 

1.  In  the  first  place,  such  a  tax  would  afford  abundant  subsistence 
to  the  army,  in  bread  and  lorage,  and  would  distribute  the  same  all 
over  the  country,  so  that  it  could  be  conveniently  collected  wherever 
wanted. 

2.  It  would  relieve  the  government  from  the  necessity  of  resorting 
to  impressment,  a  measure  which,,  however  judiciously  conducted, 
tends  to  produce  odium  and  discontent. 

3.  It  would  relieve  the  government  from  the  exactions  and  imposi- 
tion of  those  who  speculate  upon  its  necessities. 

4.  It  would  withdraw  from  the  market  the  government  as  a  pur- 
chaser of  articles  of  prime  necessity  ;  and  individuals  would  be  enabled 
to  purchase  at  so  much  lower  rates. 

5.  It  would  relieve  the  currency  from  an  issue  of  the  amount  neces- 
sary to  purchase  the  articles  levied  in  kind. 

6.  And  as  an  incident  of  the  last  benefit,  it  would  assist  greatly  in 
restoring  all  prices  to  their  usual  and  normal  condition. 

7.  It  would  render  much  more  productive  the  tax  itself,  not  only 
because  it  is  less  easily  evaded,  but  because  being  certain  in  quantity, 
it  is  not  subject  to  the  fluctuation  which  would  attend  any  further  ex- 
pansion of  the  currrency. 

I  herewith  respectfully  submit  tables  compiled  from  the  census  of 
I860,  which  exhibit  the  production  of  agriculture  and  of  animal^ 
slaughtered,  in  the  eleven  of  the  Confederate  States,  in  which  a  tax  in 
kind  could  be  levied.  The  following  are  approximate  results  of  a  tax 
of  ten  per  cent,  on  the  principal  agricultural  productions  : 
Wheat,  3,136,()0U  bushels,~at  $3      ,  6,272,000 

Rye,  217,000  bushels,  at  $2  434,000- 

Corn,  28,666,000  bushels,  at  $1   50  42,999,000 

Oats,  2,000.01)0  bushels,  at  $1  2,000,000 

Rice,  say  1-3  of  a  crop,  6,000,000  pounds,  20  cts.  1,200,000 

Peas  and  beans,  1,115,000  bushels,  $2  2,230,000 

Sweet  potatoes,  3,770,000  bushels,  $1  .  3,770,000- 

Irish  potatoes,  637,000  bushels,  $1  657,000 

Slaughtered  annimals,  1-10  value,  8,100,000 

The  crop  cf  cotton  and  tobacco  cannot  be  set  down. 

from  the  figures  of  the  census  because  the  growing 

crops  are  greatly   less  in  quantity.     I  assume  the 

crop  of  cotton  to  amount  to  1,000,000  of  bales,  or 

4,000,000  pounds,  10  per  cent,  of  which,  or  40,- 

000,000  pounds  at  25  cents,  10,000,000- 

Tobacco,  say  half  crop,  or   100,000,000  pounds,    10 

percent,  or  10,000,000  pounds,  tit  40  cts,  4,000,000 

Hay,  106,000  tons,  at  20  cts.  2,120,000 


$83,782,000 

Several  of  the  above  items  cannot  be  relied   on  for  the   aggregates 

credited  them.     But  if  the  tax  include  the  straw  of  wheat,  oats,  rye, 

and  rice,  although  these  items  would  not  be  important  ia   the  way  of 


8ale,  yet  In  their  beneficial  results  to  the  army,  they  \Yill  probably 
counterbalance  any  deficit.  The  produce  of  the  tax,  if  wholly  levied* 
in  kind,  would  probably  not  vary  much  from  the  above  figures.  From 
this  aggregate,  the  proper  deductions  miftt  be  made  for  portions  of 
the  States  occupied  by  the  enemy,  and  for  other  portions  where  it 
would  be  neither  expedient  nor  practicable  to  collect  the  tax  in  kind, 

I  now  proceed  to  submit  some  considerations  which  affect  the  se- 
curing of  the  public  credit,  and  the  reduction  of  the  volume  of  the 
currency,  and  will  assist  in  providing  additional  means. 

The  basis  of  the  plan  of  the  currency  act  is  a  firm  public  credit. 
Without  this,  treasury  notes  can  neither  pass  as  money,  peither  will 
bonds  be  accepted  in  exchange  for  them.  Congress,  therefore,  has 
judged  wisely  that  the  quantity  must  be  reduced.  This  reduction  is 
to  be  made  by  funding  and  by  taxing  ;  and  the  one  of  these  depends 
upon  the  other.  Funding  cannot  be  expected  unless  sufficient  taxes 
are  imposed  to  secure  payment  of  the  funded  debt. 

The  necessities  of  the  war  add  another  element  of  equal  importance, 
namely,  trme.  JChe  funding  must  be  within  a  given  time.  It  must 
be  prompt,  or  else  all  the  evils  incident  to  a  redundant  currency  are 
introduced. 

The  funding  act  intended  to  provide  this  very  important  feature 
in  the  plan  of  funding.  It  divi-des  the  treasury  notes  into  three 
classes.  The  first  embraces  those  which  were  issued  prior  to  the  first 
December,  1862;  the  second  those  issued  between  first  December, 
lS62,  and  sixth  April,  1863;  the  third  those  issued  subsequent  to 
sixth  April,  1863. 

The  first  class  are  entitled  to  be  funded  in  eight  per  cent,  bonds. 
They  are  subjected  to  a  statute  of  limitation  requiring  them  to,  claim 
their  right  to  eight  per  cent,  bonds  by  the  twenty-second  Apri4,  or  in 
default  thereof  they  can  only  receive  seven  per  cent,  bonds  until  first 
August,  1863;  after  which  date  they  are  wholly  debarred  from  the 
privilege  of  funding. 

The  seoend  class  may  be  funded  in  seven  per  cent,  bonds  until  the 
first  August,  1863  :  after  which  they  can  only  be  funded  in  four  per 
cents. 

The  third  class  may  be  funded  in  six  per  cents,  for  one  year  from 
the  month  of  issue  ;  after  which  they  can  only  be  funded  in  four  per 
cents. 

The  first  class  of  notes  being  entitled  to  a  rate  of  interest  at  which 
no  neiy  bonds  are  to  be  issued,  it  was  conceived  just  to  call  upon  the 
holders  to  claim  their  privilege  within  a  given  time.  Iti  is  to  be  pre- 
snmed  that  it  will  be  claimed  by  the  greater  portion  of  holders,  and 
that  such  portion  as  is  not  so  invested  will  most  probably  be  paid  in 
for  the  taxes  of  the  current  year. 

The  second  class  will  be  much  smaller  in  amount,  and  this  too  being 
'entitled  lo  seven  per  cent,  interest,  the  larger  portion  thereof  will 
.probably  find  its  way  into  bonds  by  the  date  of  limitation,  to  wit : 
iSrst  August,  1863.  If  it  does  not,  it  will  become  a  portion  of  the 
-third  class,  and  be  fundable  at  any  time  in  four  per  cent,  bonds. 

The  third  class,  therefore,  is  mainly  that  which  the  public  interest 


is  concerned  in  sustaining.  It 'is  fundable  fo¥  twelve  months  at  six 
per  cent.,  and  after  twelve  months  in  the  lower  interest  of  four  per 
cent.  With  a  view  to  give  these  bonds  a  higher  position  of  credit,  I 
propose  that  for  their  security  an  export  duty  for  a  fixed  period  be 
laid  on  all  agricultural  products,  payable  in  coin,  and  that  the  coupons 
and  interest  certificates  of  these  six  and  four  per  cents.,  be  accepted 
in  payment  of  this  export  duty. 

If  it  be  asked  how  an  export  duty  on  goods  which  cannot  be  ex- 
ported can  aid  the  public  credit,  the  fifteen  million  loan  answers  the 
enquiry. 

This  whole  loan  has  always  been  above  the  par  of  treasury  notes, 
and  very  little  of  it  is  ever  for  sale  in  the  stock  market.  The  bonds 
at  the  last  quotation  of  a  sale  were  as  high  as  135.  This  high  pre- 
mium is  owing  to  the  fact  that  the  coupons  are  receivable  at  the 
custom  house  for  the  export  duty  on  cotton,  and  the  high  price  of  the 
whole  loan  is  owing  to  its  being  secured  by  this  export  duty.  It  is 
manifest,  therefore,  tliat  if  the  same  privilege  be  extended  to  other 
bonds,  a  similar  result  will  follow,  limited  only  by  the  commercial 
law  of  supply  and  demand.  This  law,  it  is  in  the  power  of  Congress 
to  control  by  the  rate  of  duty  which  it  shall  establish.  The  higher 
the  rate,  the  greatef  will  be  the  demand,  and  consequently  the  larger 
will  be  the  amount  of  bonds  which  will  come  within  its  influence. 

It  becomes  important  then  to  ascertain  what  will  be  the  probable 
calls  upon  any  fund  which  might  be  created  by  an  export  duty,  in 
order  toiletermine  the  expediency  and  extent  of  such  duty.  The 
scheme  of  finance  adopted  by  Congress,  contemplates  an  expenditure 
by  the  government  of  50  millions  per  month.  An  inducement  of  2 
per  cent,  additional  interest  is  held  ou^  to  fund  these  issues  within  12 
months.  Assuming  that  with  the  aid  of  an  export  duty,  the  induce- 
ment would  be  mide  more  complete,  and  that  one  half  the  issue  will 
be  thus  funded,  we  will  commence  the  next  year  with  three  hundred 
millions  of  these  new  issues  funded  at  six  per  cent.,  and  probably  for 
an  average  time  of  six  months.  Of  the  remaining  three  hundred 
millions,  at  least  one  half  would  remain  out  as  currency,  and  the 
other  half  would  be  invested  at  four  per  cent.  Should  the  war  Be 
continued  for  still  one  year  more,  the  same  process  would  be  con- 
tinued, and  at  the  end  of  two  years,  say  on  4th  April,  1865,  the- 
following  figures  would  show  the  amount  required  for  interest. 
Six   montlvs    interest   on  first   SOU    millions  up  to  4th 

April  18G4,  $9,000,000 

One  year's  interest  on  first  300  millions  to  1865,  18,000,000 

Six  month's     "        on  1 50  millions  at  4  per  cent.,  3,000,000' 

•"         "  "         "    300       «*         of  second  year,  9,000,000 

Add  other  half  of  first  150  millions  at  4  per  cent,,  which 

by  this  time  would  be  funded,  say,  6,000,000 


Interest  required,  say  to  4th  April,  1865,  $45.000,000 

Let  us  now  examine  the  probable  results  of  an  export  duty  on  the^ 
principal  agricultural  products. 


It  is  probable  that4bere  are  now  in  the  Confederate  States  4,000,- 
000  of  bales  of  cotton,  weighing  1,600,000,000  of  pounds.     Assuming 
that  the  next  two  crops  will  not  average  more  than  1,000,000  of  bales 
each,  exclusive  of  domestic  consumption,  the  total  aggregate  on-  4th 
of  April,  1865,  will  be  6,000,000  of  bales,  weighing  2,400,000,000 
of  pounds.     Deduct  from  this  aggregate  say  400,000  bales  for  amount 
held  by  the  government,  and  there  remain  5,600,000  bales,  weighing 
2,240,000,000  of  pounds. 
A  duty  of  two  cents  per  pound  would  produce  a  gross 

sum  of       -  -  -  -  -  -     S  44,800,000 

Subject  to  an  abatement  of  one-eighth  of 

a  cent  devoted  to  the  15,000,001)  loan     2,800,000 
And  expenses  of  collection  and  contin- 
gencies, say  -  -  -  2,000,000 

4,800,000 


Clear  duty,  $  40,000,000 

The  tobacco  crop  produced  in  one  year,  according  to  the  census  of 
1860,  is  200,000,000  of  pounds.  Add  half  a  crop  for  each  of  the 
two  next  years,  exclusive  of  domestic  consumption,  and  the  result  is 
400,000,000  of  pounds,  which,  at  same  rate  of  duty,  will  produce 
$  8,000,000. 

The  probable  exports  of  flour,  rice,  lumber  and  naval  stores  can- 
-♦not  be  ascertained  with  any  accuracy.  The  produce  of  the  country 
in  these  articles  will  for  some  time  be  chiefly  consumed  at  home ;  so 
that  they  would  not  materially  afi'ect  the  estimates  within  the  period 
for  which  the  above  interest  is  calculated.  The  result  of  these  figures 
is  that  a  fund  of  48,000,000  is  raised  to  pay  45,000,0' '0  up  to  1st 
of  April,  1865. 

Beyond  that  period  the  contingency  of  war  or  peace  will  make  such 
a  difi"erence  in  results  that  the  pursuit  of  them  would  be  conjectural 
and  fallacious.  It  is  sufiiciently  clear  that  within  the  period,  the  ex- 
port duty  would  fully  accomplish  the  object  proposed. 

The  single  enquiry  remains^  as  to  the  expediency  of  such  a  duty. 

In  ordinary  times  this  enquiry  would  be  embarrassed  by  the  doubt 
(not  yet  resolved  in  political  economy)  whether  such  a  duty  is 
paid  by  the  producer  or  the  consumer.  As  to  the  two  principal  arti- 
cles, to  wit :  cotton  and  tobacco,  this  doubt  is  resolved  by  the  exist- 
ing circumstances.  The  consumer  is  placed  for  the  present  under  the 
constraint  of  a  monopoly.  Until  the  supply  is  greatly  enlarged,  the 
seller  has  the  advantage,  and  the  objection  to  the  duty  will  probably 
come  from  abroad.  Any  disposition,  however,  to  retaliate  by  similar 
duties  would  be  removed  by  the  distinct  perception  that  we  have  re- 
sorted to  these  duties  not  from  any  purpose  to  adopt  them  as  a  State 
policy,  but  from  the  pressure  of  the  present  financial  considerations. 

If  these  views  should  meet  with  favor  from  Congress,  and  be  adopt- 
ed, then  the  means  which  would  be  added  to  those  heretofore  provided 
would  be  the  whole  proceeds  of  the  tax  in  kind  and  of  the  export 
duty. 

The  means  of  the  Treasury,  even  witji  these  accessions,  will  still  be 


below  the  aggregate  amount  of  the  estimates.  To  supply  the  defi- 
ciency, some  other  resource  must  be  provided.  By  authorizing  the 
issue  of  bonds  to  a  eertaih  amount,  the  transportation  on  railroads  or 
other  similar  charges  may  be  paid :  or  by  an  amendment  of  the  cur- 
rency act,  part  of  the  one  hundred  millions  of  bonds  with  cotton 
coupons  may  be  made  available.  The  price  at  which  the  cotton  is  rated 
by  this  act  is  so  high,  that  it  will  probably  prevent  a  sale  of  the  bonds. 
It  is  therefore  suggested  that  it  be  reduced  to  a  rate  equal  to  the  av- 
erage price  of  cotton  abroad  for  the  last  six  months  of  peace,  and 
that  the  presentment  and  payment  of  coupons  be  made  subject  to  the 
regulations  of  the  Department.  It  will  not  be  practicable  to  make 
payments  of  sums  less  in  value  than  a  bale  of  cotton,  and  it  would  be 
expedient  to  extend  the  limit  to  several  bales. 
All  which  is  respectfully  submitted.

Sir :  I  had  heretofore  submitted  estimates  accordir.g  to  hiw  for  the 
compensation  of  the  officers  and  eraph^yees,  and  for  the  contingent 
expenses  of  the  Postoffice  Department,  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June 
30th,  1864.  But  as  Congress  has  asked  for  estimates  for  one  half 
that  year,  I  send  the  accompanying  estimates  from  July  1st  to  De- 
cember 31st  of  the  present  year. 

Very  respectfully,  your  obedient  servant, 

JOHN  H.  REAGAN, 

Postmaster  General. 
The  President. 


Postoffice  Department,  C.  S.  A.,  > 
Richmond,  April  1st,  1863.      } 

Sir:  In  answer  to  the  resolution  of  the  Senate  of  March  25,  1863, 
I  have  the  honor  to  state  that  on  the  8th  of  January  last,  the  date  of 
my  former  estimate  of  appropiation  needed  for  ''constructing,  repair- 
ing and  operating  telegraph  lines,"  the  amount  to  the  credit  of 
that  appro]iiation  was  twenty  thousand  five  hundred  and  twenty-one 
dollars  and  seventy  cents  ($20,521    70.) 

As  I  had  been  furnished  with  no  report  of  receipts  and  Expendi- 
tures, I  then  submitted  an  arbitrary  estimate  for  the  expenditures  on 
account  of  telegraph  lines  ♦''om  that  date  to  June  3Uth,  1863,  of 
fifty  thousand  dollars,  ($5(),(»0lt.) 

I  am  not  in  possession  of  the  information  necessary  to  enable  me 
to  make  a  detailed  estimate  of  the  receipts  and  expenditures  from 
June  3i)th,  1863,  to  December,  31st,  1863,  but  from  the  increasing 
demand  for  the  extension  of  telegraphic  facilities  for  the  connection 
of  fortificjitions  by  local  batteries  and  th(4  building  of  new  lines,  an 
additional  appropr  ation  will  be  necessary  to  cover  the  probable  ex- 
penditure from  June  3(lth,  1863,  to  December  3l3t,  1863.  I  would, 
therefore,  ask  for  an  appropriation  of  fifty  thousand  dollars  ($50,000) 
for  this  purpose.

The  estimates  for  the  Postoffice  Department  proper,  for  the  period 
embraced  in  the  resolution,  have  already  been  submitted.
